im have a string problem

[flyhigh]

im not sure how to get hstring ,witch is a string to spell out (assets.picturename)
in its place
thanks all

 for (int i=0;i<21;i++) 
    	{ 	
    		if  (holdyourhand[i]!=-1){
    			g.drawPixmap( Assets.(hstring), 128, 160);  
    		}
    		
        }

hey am i using string operator right?
it should have put the word picstart in there ,i must be missing something

private void showhumandoms() {
        Graphics g = game.getGraphics();
        
        hstring="picstart";
       
       
        for (int i=0;i<21;i++) 
    	{ 	
    		if  (holdyourhand[i]!=-1){
    			g.drawPixmap(Assets. + hstring + , 128, 160);  
    		}
    		
        }
   
       

    	
    	
    	
    	   
    }

Have you defined 'hstring' somewhere (in scope) so the compiler knows that you're talking about a String?

kind regards,

What error(s) are you getting?
Give the full text of them.
Highlight the line(s) on which they occur as well.

[flyhigh]

in my main class i have this
String hstring ;


its line 10.
assets are under lined and hstring are under lined.

in post 2









Multiple markers at this line
- Syntax error on token ".", , expected
- Assets cannot be resolved to a variable
- Type mismatch: cannot convert from
String to int
- Syntax error on token "+", ++ expected

Since I can't find the drawPixMap method on the only Graphics class I know, I can only assume it takes String, int, int parameters?
So that first thing needs to be a String.

What do you want the String to look like?

[flyhigh]

picstart is a png image.
i have domino images.
it can be the first domino called up1.png ,so hstring="up1"; is all that would work.

thanks

So, going back to Jos' post up there...where is hstring defined?

[flyhigh]

in this class

public class GameScreen extends Screen {
    enum GameState {
        Ready,
        Running,
        Paused,
        GameOver
        
    }
    
    GameState state = GameState.Ready;
    boolean runonce;
    boolean isthere;
    boolean skipit;
    String hstring ;
    String holdstring;
   
    
    int oldScoreH = 0;
    String scoreH = "0";
    
    int oldScoreC = 0;
    String scoreC = "0";
    
    int[][] playershand;
	int[][] computerhand;
	int[][] boneyard;
	int holdyourhand[] = new int[21];
	int holdcomputerhand[] = new int[21];
	int holdbonepile[] = new int[14];
	
	final int BLANK = -1;// location empty

[Tolls]

...and is that the same class as the showhumandoms method above?
And what is 'Asset' supposed to be?

(This is getting very similar to trying to get blood from a stone).

[flyhigh]

im so sorry
its bound to be simple ,im probly over looking something.
thank you all for trying
i need to go back and do alot of reading ,thanks

It is.
When you post up code for a problem you are having, especially if it is just a few lines, then you need to explain what all the bits in there are. That is, any variables that are not declared in that snippet, and where they come from, and any classes that are non-standard. And also what, exactly, you are trying to do.

In your case, if hstring is accessible at that point in the code then something like:

g.drawPixmap(hstring, 128, 160);

would probably get it to compile.
Whether it would work properly I do not know, as I do not know what values you require for drawPixMap...since I don't recognise it.
